Worlds Smallest Dog
The smallest dog in terms of length is Heaven Sent Brandy, a female chihuahua who measured 15.2 cm (6 in) from the nose to the tip of the tail on January 31, 2005. Brandy lives with her owner, Paulette Keller in Largo, Florida, USA.
Most Expensive Phone Number
In many areas of the world you can phone switch carriers but keep your phone number. This is known as phone number portability. Caller id and cell phones have encouraged many people to stop memorizing phone numbers, because simply by hitting a button, a person can connect to someone who recently called.
It is easy to see that some phone numbers are easier to remember than others. In May of 2006 the most expensive phone number was sold in a charity auction in Doha, Qatar.
The expensive phone number 666 6666 reportedly sold for 10m Qatari riyals or £1.5m, or around $2,750,000 US. In the West some consider 6 the imperfect number, but this is apparently not the consensus in Qatar.
History Of A Computer Mouse
When the Computer Mouse was Born
Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute invented the first mouse prototype in 1963, with the assistance of his colleague Bill English.
Engelbart never received any royalties for it, as his patent ran out before it became widely used in personal computers.

Top Fact - World Fastest Bike
The Fastest Motorbike In The World
Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
Dodge Tomahawk
 | |||||
| By Top Speed |
The Dodge powered Dodge Tomahawk is a concept vehicle and as now is the most fastest bike in the world.
The bike was launched in 2003 at North American International Auto show in Detroit, Michigan. This futuristic four-wheel, single-passenger vehicle is a sleek, rolling sculpture that combines art-deco styling with extreme engineering.
The Dodge Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. The engine breathes through twin throttle bodies mounted right up front.
Chrysler sold nine replicas for up to $555,000 each. The motorcycles cannot be legally driven on public roads.
The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension.
The Tomahawk would be produced on order through the Neiman Marcus catalog at a price of US$ 555,000 for the bike and $100 million to develop.

Top Fact - World Longest Tennis Match
Longest Professional Tennis Match
Yes you got it.............
Wimbledon 2010 holds the Title of the worlds longest tennis match for both in terms of TIME and Number Of SETS.
Accurate time keeping of tennis matches did not begin until 1968.
On May 24 at the 2004 French Open in Roland Garros Fabrice Santoro and Arnaud Clément started playing tennis but eventually darkness fell and they had to stop, but like good tennis players, they came back the next day and played some more.
After 6 hours and 35 minutes of actual playing time, spanning two days, the world's longest tennis match was over and Fabrice Santoro was the winner (6-4 6-3 6-7 3-6 16-14).
But the record was broken on June 22 to June 23, 2010 in the first round of wimbledon 2010. The match was played between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut.
John Isner Nicolas Mahut
V/S
The game lasted 183 games and involved 11 hours and 5 minutes of time. Some interesting facts of this game are:
- Longest set by time and games: The fifth set of the match required 138 games played over 8 hours and 11 minutes.
- Longest play in a single day: The first 118 games of the fifth set, played on 23 June 2010, lasted 7 hours and 6 minutes. This time is longer than the entire tennis history.
- Most games in a single day: 118, on the 23 June.
THE RESULT
John Isner (left) defeated Nicolas Mahut (right) 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(7), 7-6(3), 70-68.
